How to Make Asparagus Chicken Almonds

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1/2 cup slivered almonds, and 1 cup sliced asparagus. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken stock, 1 tablespoon dry sherry, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly (about 1 minute).
  6. Gently fold in the remaining 1 cup of asparagus. Cook for another minute until heated through. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
